Tour DAY FOURTEEN

ok...New York was a blast, as always. Ate a lot of great food, no burgers no wings no fries, and went to a lot of spots i'd never been. Kaley flew up for her birthday and we went out on saturday night to celebrate. We ate at a restaurant called The Lodge, which by every respect turned me off immediately, but turned out to be amazing. Looking over the menu I noticed that all the ingredients used in each dish were pulled from local resources and farms making it all so fresh and tasty. I ordered the curry lentil soup followed by an order of Old Bay Beer Broth Mussels. Awesome. The girls were boring and all had Veggie burgers. Good spot, check it out. Corner of Grand and Driggs in Williamsburg.
We played the Trash Bar that night and the show was great. A lot of Orlando transplants showed up. the place reminds me a lot of BarBQBar in that it has christmas lights strung from one side to the other and license plates all over the walls. Our place is much better looking and way more authentic. One bar I was extremely impressed by was a place called MOTO. Great beers and Wine and an art deco aesthetic that reminds me of BIOSHOCK for some reason. Like a Mid-century jazz club shut down and forgotten, it is awesome. Great jazz records playing all night and two brothers running the place, all smiles and stories.
We left New York yesterday and played an early, outdoor show in Delaware for a bunch of youngsters who really dig the music. We were done before 11pm, so we cut out and ended up at this Holiday Inn Express in Maryland on our way to Norfolk, VA. By the way, the "amazing showerhead" at these H.I. Express' is no joke. It's awesome. Cleanest I've ever been. Some of you know.
These are the final days of the tour. Norfolk today, Greenville, NC tomorrow, and Charleston, SC on Thursday. We'll be back in Florida on Friday for a show @ the Crowbar in Ybor City with Gil Mantera's Party Dream, then the Real Big Deal Fest in Gainesville, and then the final show on Sunday @ FSU with Mates of State.
Miss you guys. See ya soon. BAH!!
